Bow Tie Pasta with Spinach

Below is a DELICIOUS pasta salad that was shared with our family through our Aunt Debbie's friend JoAnn. This can be served hot or cold and with our without chicken. We usually buy a rotisserie chicken, cut it up and put it in the salad and have it for dinner. Also the cranberries can be substituted for a jar of sun dried tomatoes if you prefer that instead. Enjoy!
